Sound Options; Connecting Analog Speakers - HP IQ524 - TouchSmart - 4 GB RAM Getting Started Manual

Sound Options

Your HP TouchSmart PC supports the following speaker options:
Built-in analog stereo speakers
Analog 2.0 or 2.1 powered speakers
Digital 3.1, 4.1, or 5.1 powered speakers
Audio receiver
NOTES:
The HP TouchSmart PC supports powered speaker systems only. Powered speakers require a separate
power supply.
When the Audio line in connector is being used, the output to the internal speakers, the Audio line out
connector, and the headphones connector are affected. For example, if you are playing sound through
your internal speakers and then you connect an MP3 device through your Audio line in connector, you
will hear both sounds.
By default, the internal speakers are on, and the digital speakers are off.

Connecting analog speakers

For 2.0 powered speakers, connect the speaker cable to the Audio line out connector on the back of the
computer behind the connector cover.
For 2.1 powered speakers, connect the Audio line out connector on the back of the computer behind the
connector cover to the subwoofer, and then connect the left and right speakers to the subwoofer. Turn on
the computer and then the speaker system. If necessary, refer to the documentation that came with your
speakers.
NOTE: When an Audio line out connector, such as headphones or external speakers are connected, the
internal speakers are muted.
